New York (State). Adirondack Mountain Authority.

The Adirondack Mountain Authority was created by Chapter 958 of the Laws of 1960, superseding and continuing the former Whiteface Mountain Authority as an amendment of the Public Authorities Law.

The law gave the new authority powers and duties for acquiring lands and properties for additional recreational facilities, specifically for the development, improvement, and management of the authority and especially to construct, maintain, and operate ski trails on the slopes of the Gore, South, and Peter Gray mountains in Warren County. Furthermore, the law authorized the Conservation Department to acquire by gift, purchase, or appropriation (under the Conservation Law) lands and rights in lands or easements deemed by the authority to be necessary for developing Gore Mountain ski trails. Upon approval by the Comptroller, such lands were to be made available to the authority for development; money provided by the authority for the acquisitions was paid to the comptroller upon the request of the conservation commissioner.
